The Insiders: It’s going to be smooth yard-saling today

It’s Labor Day weekend, readers – or to many of us in the thrifty set, the last chance to go yard-saling this year! Are you looking for the perfect piece of furniture to complete your living room? That old-school NES game that you have been searching for for years? A bunch of hidden treasures that you can sell on eBay for a tidy profit? Well, you probably won’t find any of that stuff; after all, when you go yard-saling, you never find what you’re looking for, but you always find something you need! There are at least seven yard sales going on in Concord as we speak, on roads such as Dunklee Street, Cherry Street and East Sugar Ball Road. Check out the Monitor’s Classifieds section or visit classifieds.concordmonitor.com for a full list of local sales. No early birds!

If you’re really into buying used stuff from strangers, head down to Everett Arena today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and check out the gun show. Do you want to wear the Tec-9 with your high-tops or the Uzi with your low-tops? The choice is yours! After all, you know what they say: Sun’s out, guns out.
